? Now comes the report that a number
of millionaires are Retting together
to guarantee money to I>r. Cook for
the purpose of enabling him to prove
his claim of having gone to the north
pole before Peary. The story is that the
men behind the movement proposed to
employ some of the foremost seientists
of the world to investigate those Ktah
records, if they can be recovered, and
restore to Dr. Cook the honor that they
claim to be his: but which they snv
has been taken away from him. The
statement has been made that Harry
Whitney proposes to go back into the
Arctic regions at his own expense to
try to recover the Cook records.
? Atlanta, Ga., April 3: "As a soldier
is compelled to swear allegiance to
his country before he is allowed to t'ght
her battles, so should a candidate be
made to swear allegiance to a position
of authority," declared Gov. Chas. N.
Haskell of Oklahoma, in an address I efore
the convention of the South) rn
Anti-Saloon league here this afterno> n.
Gov. Haskell was urging the eh ctl>?n
of only anti-liquor candidates to ffiee.
Discussing the right of the government
to prohibit the sale of intoxicants. Gov.
Haskell said: "Anti-prohibitionists argue
that prohibition hinders the private
rights of citizens. The selling of poisons
is prohibited by law. A man who
buys carbolic acid is buying it with his
own money and if he wishes to drink
it, it is purely a personal matter, but
the la.v denies him the right."
? Aden. Arabia. April 2: The ferocious
campaign of Mohammed Abdullah
of Fomaliland. "Mad Mullah,"
against the sultanates under British
protection, continues unchecked. Eight
hundred of the tribesmen friendly to
the sultanates have been slaughtered,
vast areas laid waste and towns
razed. Natives in great numbers are

that this will lead to another expedition
against "Mad Mullah," who has caused
the British government great anxiety
for many years. Mohammed Abdullah
started his campaign early In February,
a large force of dervishes raiding the
sultanate of the Mojertins, killing and
burning in all directions. The administration
of the sultanate is entrusted
to the government of Italian Somaliland.
"The Mad Mullah" began stirring
up the natives of Somnliland after
making a pilgrimage to Mecca in
1896, and after fighting, an agreement
was reached in 190.r>, whereby the mullah
undertook to observe peace toward
both GVeat Britain and Italy.
?Atlanta special to New York Sun:
When ex-President Roosevelt returns
to the I'nited States he will probably
be asked to return a medal which was
presented to him at the Jamestown exposition
in the name of the state of
Georgia. As a matter of fact, although
the medal purports to have been presented
by Georgia it was not. and
that's why its return will be asked. W.
Norwood Mitchell, the Georgia commissioner
at Jamestown, ordered the
medal, but the state refused to pay for
It. along with many other bills rendered
by the commissioner. The medal
has already been presented to Mr.
Roosevelt anci xnucnvu ...... ...
paid for it and the other bills repudiated
by the state. Meeting these obligations
practically ruined Mitchell, and
his friends think it is an outrage that
the medal should bear the name of
Terrell, who was then governor, when
the state refused to pay the bills.
Mitchell and his friends propose to put
the facts before Mr. Roosevelt and ask
him to return the medal so that the
name of Governor Terrell, Georgia,
may be erased and the names of those
who paid for the medal may be inscribed.
It will then be returned to
Mr. Roosevelt as a token of esteem
from the Georgia gentlemen. Mr.
Mitchell lately filed a petition in
bankruptcy, being driven thereto by
sacrifices he made to meet the Jamestown
bills which the state refused to
pay.
? Washington. April 2: Tin* government
of the United States today made
its first vigorous onslaught upon stock
gambling, which in scope practically
covers the country from tin- Missouri
river to the Atlantic coast. Brokers'
offices in New York, Philadelphia. Jersey
City, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St.
Louis were raided simultaneously at
11 o'clock, eastern time, today by special
agents of the department of justice.
who were armed with bench warrants
issued by tile supreme court of
the District of Columbia. Conspiracy
indictments in which twenty-nine persons
are named?five of them said to
be millionaires, and all interested in
brokers' offices in large cities of t lie I
United States?were returned late yesterday
by the Federal government
grand jury of the District of Columbia,
upon evidence which agents of the department
of justice had been gathering
for more than a year. The indictments
were withheld yesterday oil the ropiest
of Attorney General Wiekershani. so
that the department of justice detectives
might make the raids simultane*! ...?>

New York and Philadelphia: Price \Co.,
which has offices in Baltimore and
New York, and the Standard Stock Hi
Orain Dealers, which has offices in Jersey

St. i/ouis.
? Washington. April 1: That the corporation
tax will lie amended to restrict
the operation of its publicity
feature was virtually assured today
when the house slightly amended a
provision previously adopted by the
senate for that purpose. As passed by
the house today the law hearing <>n this
subject provided that "all corporation
tax returns shall be open to inspection
only upon order of the president under
rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury and
approved by the president." As previously
provided by the senate, such
corporation tax reports were to be
"made public when called for by resolution
of the senate or the house of
representatives or upon the order of
the president when he deems it for the
public interest." The senate and house
conferees will soon get together in an
effort to agree upon a public amendment
in which the views of both
branches will be harmonized. Tin* consideration
of this measure involved an
animated debate which consumed the
entire session of the house today. Just
before tin* subject was disposed of, Mr.
Fitzgerald of New York, attempted to
get a direct vote upon a motion to
recommend the bill under consideration
with instruction for the committee
on appropriations to report it with an
amendment repealing the I'aync-AIdrich
tariff bill. By a strict party vote
of 1 all to 116. in which tin* insurgents
were found sidt by side with the regular
Republicans, a point of order
against Mr. Fitzgerald's motion was
sustained.
? There Is no ginger ale on the market!
This is tile statement made in
testimony brought out before the pure
food boaril at the department of agriculture
last week. Doctor H. \V. Wiley,
the chief chemist of the department,
who was conducting the inquiry,
threw a chill into the manufacturers
assembled with the grave suggestion
that it might be necessary to eliminate
the word altogether from interstate
commerce. The department hud formulated
a series of questions as to whether
the presence of capsicum in ginger
ale had to be stated on the label:
whether "lemon soda" and "cream soda"
where permissible names: whethersarsaparllla
was a permissible name, as It
is not sarsaparilla and whether root
beer is to bo made of roots or of something
else. Evidence was heard front
the bulk of the manufacturers present
that capsicum is always or nearly always
used in ginger ale. The whole
morning of the session was used in
threshing out the question of whether
or not it is necessary to put red pepper
into ginger ale. and if so put. whether
the fact ought to be stated on the label.
Mr. W. B. Keller of New York stated
that In many cases ginger Is not pres|
ent in the concoction. He said that
one formula that had taken tile prize
as the best ginger ale made in England,
contained no trace of ginger. He said
that if it came to a strict interpretation
of the law, ginger ale is 1101 ate ai an.
and it would be ridiculous to eliminate
the name from the trade on that account.
Dr. Wiley said that he was not
so sure but what the word "ale" ought
to be eliminated. At that there was a
general shiver throughout the meeting,
as the manufacturers united in declaring
that it would be almost Impossible
to educate the public to take ginger ale
under some entirely different name.
$hr \|orkrillr (inquirer.
Rntered at the I'ostofflce in Yorkville
e? Mail Matter of the Second Class
YORKVILLE. S. C.:
TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1910.
TIIKRK are very few well informed
South Carolinians, who have any doubt
of the fact that Andrew Jackson was
born in South Carolina. The famous
"Old Hickory" so testified time and
again himself, and all the records that
are really worth considering bear out
his testimony; but still because of that
monument that has been erected across
the line for the purpose of establishing
.. r-o,wi now evidence is generally
worth reproducing. Mr. CJ. H. O'Leary
of Yorkvllle. called the attention of
| The Enquirer a few days ago to a bit
of testimony that seems to hear quite
satisfactorily on the case. Hack, previous
to 1820, the South Carolina
general assembly commissioned Robert
Mills to prepare an atlas of the state,
and the work was finally completed at
a cost of a good many thousands of dollars.
It included separate maps of the
various districts into which the state
was then divided, and the work was
gotten up with neatness, accuracy and
thoroughness that cannot be excelled
even at this date. Mr. O'Leary lias a
copy of this old atlas, one of the very
few copies that are still in existence,
and in looking over the map of Laneaster
district the other day, he found
at a point about half a mile from the
North Carolina line, a spot marked thus:
"Oen'l A. Jackson's birthplace." The
survey was made in 1820 and the atlas
was completed in 1S25. Jackson was
not elected to the presidency until 1X28.
There being plenty of people alive at
the time to testify to the facts, and this
atlas being official, the presumption is
that there was no ground for confusion
or dispute.
FORM Kit President Roosevelt and the
Pope of Rome, have gotten into a little
tungle that has made somewhat of a
sensation throughout the world. Some
weeks ago, former Vice President Fairbanks
was visiting in Rome, and made
an address t<? the Methodists of the city,
before tilling an appointment he had
previously made for an audience with
the pope. The Methodists of Rome arc
prosecuting a warm campaign against
the Vatican, and there is much rancor
and feeling on both sides. Recau.se of
Mr. Fairbank's address to the Methodists,
i'f which lie is one, Pope Pius
declared the audience off and that raised
a tremendous row. Before In- left
Alexandria, Mr. Roosevelt instructed
the American ambassador at Rome to
arrange an audience for him with the
pope. The papal secretary of state was
perfectly agreeable, but undertook to
stipulate in effect, that Mr. Roosevelt
must agree beforehand not to go out
from the Vatican and address some of
the Protestant bodies. The reason given
was that the pope desired to avoid
a repetition of the Fairbanks' incident.
Mr. Roosevelt declined to make any
promises as to what he would do. reserving
the right to conduct himself as
lie might see proper, both before and
after the audience. Tile papal secretary
of state would not give in with regard
to the matter and Mr. Roosevelt determined
to forego the pleasure of his
proposed audience with the pope. The
matter is now being discussed throughout
the civilized world, and the preponderating
sentiment seems to be
that the papal secretary, Cardinal
(It I \ ill, IlilN 11 lit v I < ?l U'lin
blundt-r in assuming what is generally
conceded to be u very small and liarrow
attitude toward one of the most
distinguished men of tin- time. .Mr.
Roosevelt very much regrets the whole
incident, and lias expressed the hope
that his friends ami the Catholics will
let it drop.
The Damage Suit Industry.
Four mental anguish cases were
docketed for trial in the court of common
picas at Walnalla last week. The.-e
Were suits for damages against the
Western I'nioii Telegraph company for
failure to deliver telegrams piomptly 01
something of the kind.
Fach case was non-suited. That is.
each case was thrown out because tln re
was not sufficient evidence for it to go
to tin- jury.
The telegraph company was put to a
lot of unnecessary expense. They had
to prepare for trial in each case, and
bring to Walhalla a number of witnesses
from owr the country, some of
them their own employes, who get nigh
wages. The telegraph company was
put to an expense of several hundred
dollars in each ease, and yet each case
was sii lacking in un til, ill tin- "pillion
of th?- presiding judge. tii.it it could not
go before a jury.
It does seem that sonic way simil?l
in- devised hv which the telegraph coinpany.
and other corporations or individuals.
could he protected again-t impositions
"f this kiimI. Some limit or
restriction should he set against tin- tiling
of useless damage suits.
We confess that we do not know just
how this Could he done, hut it ought t"
be done. We helieVe li"h"dv will t]is_
pute that.
The thing ought to he cheeked liecause.
if for no other reason, the prac
bringing suits upon llinisv excuses
tends to work against the plaint
iffs in bona fide damage suits. Public
sentiment can bccunic so disgusted with
the (laniase suit industry that a legitimate
damage suit would be injured by
an outraged public feeling.
The lawyers of the state would do
themselves credit, and the public at
large a real service, if they would take
some steps by which this evil can be
checked.?Anderson Mail.
Although the abuse against which the
Mail complains, is unite obvious, the
right to resort to it is so deep rooted
and well-established, that to correct it,
if correction were possible, would require
a long and interminable light,
political, legislative and judicial. As
we see it. we consider that reform along
this line is almost hopeless. Hut if it
were possible to bring about a change-.
It occurs to us that considerable im
provement coulil be hail by requiring
a ruling from a common picas Judge as
a condition precedent to the tilinic of a
complaint. Just as no defendant can
he made to answer in the general sessions
until he has been indicted by a
grand jury, let no complaint lie in the
court of common pleas until a circuit
judge has said that the facts are sufficient
to constitute a probable cause of
action. It seems to us that such an arrangement
would be considerable protection
to the public, and since the necessary
proceedings are only such as ate
so frequently precipitated by motions
for non-suits after the plaintiffs testitnony
is In, the suggested change would
not involve a great deal of extra time
or expense. It Is very well understood,
how it does not cost anything much "to
law a man or a corporation;" but it
always costs the man or corporation
more or less to defend himself or itself,
and while probably it would not cost
a plaintiff any more to go to law under
the suggested change, there would be
some less cost and some less annoyance
to the man or corporation, who was being
"lawed" without a reasonable
ground of complaint.
The State Flag.
There is now on the statute books a
law which requires the display of the
state (lag on the public buildings of the
state. The statute, which had its inception
in a bill introduced by Hon,
John J. McMahan of Columbia, and
which we reproduce from the Fort Mill
Times, is as follows:
"That the state tlag shall be displayed
daily, except in rainy weather, from
a staff upon the state house and every
court house, one building of the state
university and of each state college,
and upon every public school building,
except when the school is closed during
vacation.
"That it shall be the duty of the orti
cer or officers in charge of sniff buildings
to purchase suitable Hags and
cause thent to be displayed, the expense
to be borne out of the funds provided
for maintenance.
"That it shall be the duty of Cletnson
college to manufacture in its textile
department and sell at approximate
cost tlags of suitable sixes and correct
design, which shall consist of blue,
with white crescent in the upper (lagstaff
corner, and white palmetto tree in
the centre, as prescribed in the resolution
adopted by the general assembly,
January 2S, 1S61. to be approved by tlie
secretary of the historical commission.
"That any person who mutilates, injuries
or desecrates the (lag < f the state
wherever displayed, as above provided,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be punished by a
line of not more than $100 or imprisonment
for not more than 30 days."
While the foregoing lacks one provision
which lawyers generally hold necessary
to its proper enforcement, a
penalty, still it is a good law and as
such should be observed, Kvery public
official is sworn to obey all the laws ol
tile state, and this fact should be more
potent in securing observance of a law
like this than anv penalty that might
b?* devised.
SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? Union Times: It is with sincere regret
that we learn of the recent illness
of the editor of Progress, Mr. Allan
Nicholson. He was operated on for appendicitis
Thursday morning, and
strong hopes of his recovery are held by
his friends. We trust he may he restored
to health at an early day.
? The jury in the case of Calhoun
Harris, charged with embezzling tht
funds of the Orr cotton mill, in Anderson,
was unable to agree upon a verdict,
standing six to six. The defenst
surprised the prosecution by failing Pi
put up testimony. There was a shortage
of some $50,000, but the testimony
failed to show satisfactory to the entire
jury, that the defendant had committed
a forgery as had been charged.
? By an overwhelming majority, I.31C
to OS, the city of Columbia last Saturday,
decided to adopt tlie commission
form of government, for which opportunity
has been afforded by a recent act
of the general assembly. For a number
of years past, the city has been
governed by a mayor and sixteen aldermen,
the mayor elected at large and
and the aldermen by wards. The new
government will be by a mayor and
four commissioners, all elected at large,

the court house was tilled to its capacity.
The jury retired to their room

Wise Western Farmers.?< in Janua1.
1 *100. there were GlJ.STG.UOil hogs
in the United States?most of them in
the western states. There was meat
enough for all, hut the result was the
man who raised the meat did not get

did not keep on raising an abundance
of hogs.
Then years later, when the population
of the United States had increased
I'll.IHHI.<1110 there were only 47.7X1'.' 00
hogs in the United States. The
latter number will bring the farmers
of tluc west more than twice tile
amount of money that the larger
number did ten years ago. You hear
tile cry that it is lie- packing house

litis money to burn and is making no

southern farmer could learn a lesson
from his brother in the west? And
yet it is gem-rally believed that the
farmers of the south are now preparing

way that was quite interesting. ()l
"As 1 take it," tin- gentleman said, u

tie Good Shepherd, Yorkville. The inorporatlon
of '"The Church Home" has
dded numbers and life to tile parish,
reatly increasing the Sunday school,
nd drawing upon the healthy sympuhy
of the parish, and the generous
ommunlty of Yorkville, of which it is
ow a part. Our rector, the Rev. T.
'racy Walsh?tho* almost ubiquitous,
a numerous are the places he is called
pon to fill?is adequately meeting the
emands. We have services every Sunay
with the full strength of the conregation
in evidence, and always a
tioroughly well prepared and able serlon
is our portion. To the enterprise
nd energy of Mr. Walsh, we owe the
istallation of the beautiful pipe organ
i the church, last December. It is a
ne manual, but with u divided key
oard and so the effect of two manuals
i obtained. It cost only $650 and is
ery powerful and beautiful in tone.
.la T a nnau ,>f Ciilnmhln a
eautiful recital shortly after tne organ
as installed, and on that occasion, its
nil scope and power were recognized
y others than the "knowing ones."
'lie vested choir, also an acquisition of
lie year is being most successfully
rained by the rector; and to the old
nd faithful "sweet singers of Israel,"
thers have been added, thus making
ur beautiful choral service very full
nd effective. Through the efforts of
tie vestry and congregation, electric
glits iiave been placed most attraeIvely
throughout the church, and
lirougii the same source, a "bungalow"
as erected for the occupancy of the
fetor and his family last April; the
>ase of the rectory not then having exired.
Since January, however, the rec>ry
has been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. '
yalsh, and "the bungalow" is a source
f revenue to the parish. The parish
lio' small is energetic and faithful,
nd with tiie increased congregation
roni the Church Home, we are taking
n new life and are looking forward to
very bright and happy Master. The 1
>nten services have been instructive
ml helpful. So that in the spirit of the
eautiful cantata, "The Resurrection," 1
riiicli the choir is preparing for our
laster service, w?- should as a parish, 1
ael the resurrection of "our dead selves
i higher things."
CHANGES OF ADDRESS.
Although the system lias been long
stablished, there is a surprisingly
ni?.? number nf oeonle who do not
ecm tit be aware of the fact that the
ostoftiee (lepartiueiit undertakes to
ssist newspaper patrons in having paers
that they do not want dismntined,
and in changing addresses.
While in tile Yorkville postoftlce the
titer day, the attention of tin- report* r
as called to a brief conversation beveen
Miss Moore, the postmaster, and
patron, who desired to send hack an
ndesired newspaper as "refused." It
>enis that the patron bail merely droped
the newspaper hack into the mail
ax, and when she came attain found it
i her own box. She was naturally a
it exasperated and explained to the
iistmaster that sin- hail gotten the pace
once, had return, d it and did not '
ant it any more.
Although t!?? situation is a familiar
no, Miss Moore was somewhat auiusJ
at it. "YOU Would he sur|il'ised to
now how many i?"o;.le do just that
i'iy thing," she said. "ReeeiviiiK a paL*i"
they do not want, they put it hack
i tlie letter or newspaper box and say
[ thin*?. Finding it in the Im?x. we balmily
assume that the paper ini-rht
nve In en delivered to the w rung per n
by mistake, and of course, we attain
nt it in tin- box of the person to whom
is addressed. If, before dropping the
tides!red* paper hack iu the box. the
lressec had written 'refused' oil the
margin, we would have known what to
lo. That is. we would have sent the
lubllshers a card, explaining that the
taper was not wanted and advising honed
late discontinuance."
But where there is so much lack of
uformation on this same subject on
he part even of fourth-class postmaners
and rural delivery carriers, Ignormce
among the patrons should not he
?ur prising. There are scores of carders
and small postmasters throughout
he country, who not know that it Is
heir business to look after the changng
of the addresses of newspapers for
heir patrons or of having papers discontinued.
The government provides special
ards for both purposes. The cards
ire printed in outline and there Is
nothing for the postmaster to do hut
to (ill In names. For instance, one of
:he cards known as form 1.52X reads:
Publisher of : Pursuant to instructions
from the postmaster generil.
I beg leave to inform you that your
paper addressed to is not taken
nit, but remains dead in this office.
Vou will please discontinue the same."
The other, known as form No. l,f>68
reads: "Your publication addressed to
at should be addressed
to ensure prompt delivery."
Every postmaster should have a
stock of these cards on hands; especially
as they may be procured merely by
making requisition for them, and they
go through the mails free of cost for
postage. The department recognizes
the right of patrons to have addresses
changed and undesired papers discontinued
free of cost, and patrons should
always apply to the postmaster or rural
route carriers, when they want such
changes made.

Lots of Good Work Done.
"In spite of the iinpatienee we were
all showing a few weeks back," said Mr.
Norman S. Black, a few days ago, "I
believe the farmers are as well up with
their work as they ever are at this
season. I don't believe I have even seen
so much planting as has been done up
to this time, and the indications are
that they are not going to put everything
in cotton either. I see lots of
good cotton land that Is being prepared
for corn, more than usual in fact."

Yorkville special of April :i, to the
V'ews and Courier: The first annual
neetlng of the board of trustees of the
'hurcli Home orphanage, was held in
the orphanage building in this place on i
last Thursday night, the following <
trustees being present: Kt. Rev. W. A. <
Guerry, president; Rev. A. S. Thomas, <
vice president; W. B. Moore. Yorkville, i
secretary and treasurer; Rev. <>. T.

Hayne, Greenville. In* addition to the '
foregoing trustees, Hon. J. S. Brice,
Rev. T. T. Walsh and Deaconess Gadsden,
as members of the executive board,
were present at the meeting. The trustees
were met at the depots by a com|
mittee with automobiles and taken to
the orphanage grounds, and on their
arrival they found the inmates and a
I number of Yorkville children enjoying
an egg hunt, egg races, egg scramble,
leap frog and other Interesting games. |
The children arrayed in summer garb,
scattered in merry parties on lawn and
terrace made an attractive picture, and
the visitors openly expressed their de
light at witnessing so interesting a
scene. This being the first visit of the
trustees to the orphanage since it was
moved here from Charleston last year,
several hours were spent in the inspection
of the farm and buildings, making
a thorough survey of the newly acquired
property. Great satisfaction was
expressed at the outlook for enlarging
the scope of the work and at the value
of the purchase for the church. After
partaking of a bountiful supper prepared.
and served by the older girls of the
institution, the board held a business
session lasting until a late hour. Two
new trustees, M. C. Willis of Yorkvllle,
and Dr. W. P. Cornell of Charleston,
were elected. All old officers were reappointed.
Resolutions were passed asking
that the Capers Memorial take the
form of a cottage home, this being the
greatest present need, and a suitable
memorial to the late lamented president
and bishop, Rt. Rev. ICIIIson Capers.
The superintendent's report showed
progress In all departments and commented
especially on the reception and
support rendered by the community of
Yorkvllle. The treasurer's report showed
the finances to be in excellent condition.
The heating plant, costing
$1,500 had been placed and only about
$350 was needed to complete the pay
ment for this improvement. The annual
Thanksgiving offering toward the
maintenance fund had this year reached
$2,300, double the amount given last
year. A gift of $300 toward the endowment
of the "J. Frank Lindsay" Memorial
was made by W. B. Moore. One
hundred dollars towtlrd the fund for the
erection of the fire escape in the central
building, was reported as given by J.
J. Seibels of Columbia. Resolutions
were adopted looking to the immediate
development of the farm, both as a
source of supplies and as a "farm
school," where boys can be trained to
properly cultivate the soil.

?Columbia special of April 2, to
the Charlotte Observer: A gathering
of white Republican postmasters,
appointees and friends of ex-Internal
Revenue Commissioner John G. Ca- t|
pers is here today at the call of Captain
Capers in his room at the Jerome
hotel, for the purpose primarily of
laying plans for a reorganization and
reform of the state organization at a
state Republican convention to be
held this fall, when a new state chairman,
executive committee and other
officers are to be elected. The plan
se<ems to be to put the party on a
similar basis to that in North Carolina
and Virginia, in the hope of having
Republicanism appeal to the best
element in the state, and make It a
genuine rival of the Democratic par
ty. There are also several Important I
Jobs to be looked after Just at the
present. The word has gone out that
Revenue Collector Jenkins, who is
appointed at the pleasure of the president,
Is to lose out. Dr. B. F. Clayton
of Charleston has resigned as ^
clerk to Marshal Dune Adams, and
the talk here Is that he is a candidate
for collector. But Dr. Clayton
Is not favored by Captain Capers,
who has a candidate In the person of
L. W. C. Blalock of Goldville. "I
don't hesitate to say," said Captain
Capers today, "that I favor Mr. Blalock
for collector if he will halve the
Job. There must be some mistake ^
about Clayton's candidacy, as I presume
that he would be ineligible for
the same reason that he failed to be
appointed marshal some years ago."
The understanding is that Captain
Capers referred to Dr. Clayton's re- *
cord while postmaster at Columbia.
It was announced here today that
the vacancy created by the death of
Revenue Agent E. W. Screven, who
had charge of the two Carolinas,
Florida and eastern Georgia, has
been filled by the appointment of A.
J. Yellowly, whom Capers appointed
some years ago In the revenue service
at New Orleans. It is known that
Collector Jenkins favored Mr. Grace,
holding the position temporarily, for i
this position. Postmaster Harris of
Charleston, Captain Capers' rival for
control in the state, is conspicuously
absent today, inaugurating a campaign
to make a lily white party is
admittedly the purpose tonight of the
gathering. It is hoped to accomplish
this by applying Section 9 of the state
party law in seating delegates in the
state convention next fall. This section
requires delegates to be registered
voteas or to make a satisfactory
showing that they were improperly
refused registration. ' The meeting
adjourned after signing a letter to ^
Auuonui cunimiueemaii capers u.a
follows: "Dear Sir: In obedience to
a request from you we have assembled
together to confer with you in regard
to the advancement of Republican
principles in South Carolina and <
the building up of a strong, active
and willing Republican party in the
state. We feel that such a condition
can be developed and consummated
under the laws of the party which
we adopted at our past state conventions.
It is contended by many and
as we are Informed, has been stated
by the president that you and Maj. 1
L. W. C. Blalock are the leaders of a
party composed almost entirely of
the colored race. Our presence here
today Is a strong and emphatic denial
of this untruth. There are thousands
of the best white men of this 1
state, who, like us, are willing to fol?

fort to better the condition of our
party, and to tills end we pledge ourselves
and will do anything to perform
all that we cun to accomplish
tills purpose."
? The so-called Digge's bills for the ^
disfranchisement of tile negro in all
state and municipal elections in Maryland,
were passed by the Maryland
senate last Friday. These bills now
go to the house, where their passage is
assured because of the large Democratic
majority in that body. It is not
proposed to attempt to prevent negroes
voting at congressional or presidential
elections, the restriction applying only
to state and municipal balloting. The
original draft of the plan was amended
by the insertion of a clause by which .
negroes owning property assessed at
$500 may vote, providing they were
possessed of property thus valued two
years in advance of their registration.
It is proposed to repeal the present
registration law; to have a new gener- al
registration next year, refusing registration
to negroes and to abolish
spring elections in Baltimore, carrying
forward those elections until the state
slection in the November following. Being
refused registration, if the bills are
snacted, the negro will not be able to
vote on the measures when they come a
before the voters in November, 1911, in '
the form of a constitutional amend
went. The Democrats did not insert
Ihe property qualification In the registration
bill because they say they will
;onduct the election under the state
institution, from which they claim
the word "white" has never been exjugned
by any act of the state.
